Byron Flexible Learning Level 2 Teacher Training

A flexible option to progress your yoga career!

Byron Yoga Centre’s 300 hour Level 2 Flexible Learning option is suitable for those who would like to continue their learning and progress their study online with supervised support from our trainers and then attend the residential intensive at a later date.

The Level 2 Flexible Learning option is for people who are not ready to commit to dates or who cannot attend the residential component for a while but are keen to start the course now. The training is accredited with Yoga Alliance.

The course is comprised of four parts – Parts A, B, C and D. Part A is by correspondence and skype supervised sessions. It will prepare you for the residential intensive and also includes units that are usually completed in Part C and D of the Level 2 courses. Part B is a 12 day residential program but there are options for how you complete Part C – either as an additional 8 day residential (so making it a 20 day residential) or by correspondence in your own time along with Part D.

12 Day Intensive dates

Part A allows you to begin your training hours by correspondence and is undertaken at a personal pace for as long as you need. (You can book into the residential course when you book or when you are ready). You will have regular access to a Senior Yoga Teacher for skype or google voice and video interviews, email correspondence and mentoring. There is a comprehensive student resource page for you to access. Trainees download the Level 2 Manual, practice the Level 2 DVD and document a regular self practice as well as attending their local yoga classes on a consistent basis. There is required reading and units of online study to complete with related learning activities. You will be fully supported in undertaking units usually completed in the Part C and Part D of Level 2.

Part B: 12 Day Residential Intensive

Held at our Byron Yoga Retreat Centre, the intensive provides you with the opportunity to immerse yourself in your yoga studies and practice-teaching for 12 days (see Course Content below). It is also a fantastic chance to connect to your peers, to fellow yoga teachers and those embarking on further studies.

In the additional 8 days of residential immersion you will complete further online units and have the opportunity to undertake your practical teaching hours at our public classes, with supervision and valuable feedback from our trainers.

If you select the Premier Course Level 2, 20 Day Residential Flexible Learning option, you will only have about 40 hours of Part D the final correspondence work to complete after the residential course before gaining your Level 2 300 hour certificate.

OR

Part C and Part D: Correspondence Option – approx 120 hours

You can choose the 12 Day Residential Flexible Learning Level 2 option and complete Part C and Part D by correspondence in your own time. Post residential course work includes online study, attending classes and journaling you practice teaching experience. You will need to organise your own practical teaching experience and complete a journal of your classes. You will receive your Level 2 300 hour certificate on successful completion of the units. (Allow 12-26 weeks). If you have not completed your Part C and D within 2 years you will need to contact us to re-register and you will be charged a re-engagement fee of $150.
